We were happy to see a healthy Barry Windham,one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

"Iron Mike" tells me he could have runwith the Horsemen and he has me convinced.

Hey, Iron Mike! Who was the leaderof the Four Horsemen? Of course!!

Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson ... mega movie star and in the main event, but still shows his respect for the Horsemen.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the congratulatory messages I received upon my induction into the WWE Hall of Fame during WrestleMania XXVIII Weekend in Miami. I was honored as the leader of The Four Horsemen along with "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard and Barry Windham. Those of you who have followed my journey or have read my autobiography know that I have enjoyed a storybook career. However, this honor was something that I never even dared to dream about which probably helps explain why for the first time in my career I have truly been at a loss for words to adequately describe my WWE Hall of Fame 2012 Induction experience. I am so very proud, and yet, I feel humbled to have received this recognition.

I want to thank everyone at the WWE for bestowing this honor upon us and for the warm hospitality that was extended to my children and I while in Miami as their guests. I particularly want to thank the loyal fans that have always supported professional wrestling and who have supported me throughout my career.

It was almost a quarter century since The Four Horsemen first came together, and as we reunited in Miami we found ourselves surrounded by superstars from the past and present including several of the great icons in the history of our proud profession. We were joined by a multitude of fans many of whom had traveled to Miami from the four corners of the globe. The Horsemen were embraced by all with open arms and the respect shown us was genuinely appreciated.

If the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Weekend was any indication, maybe the legacy of The Four Horsemen will live on forever!
